In this special episode of the Fit for Business and Life podcast, host Martin Sharp shares the full story of completing the 2025 London Marathon, his first ever marathon and the first leg of a three-race endurance challenge — fundraising for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Joined by co-host Dominic Furness, Martin reflects on the mental and physical demands of marathon running for busy professionals and high achievers, and how lessons from the track apply directly to life and leadership.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What it’s really like to run the London Marathon as a first-timer

• The importance of mindset and recovery for long-term success

• How to fuel smart for endurance: gels, crisps, and everything in between

• The mental shift that happens mid-race — and how to push through

• The science behind recovery: electrolytes, magnesium, glutathione & more

• Why charity and purpose fuel more than just your body

• The moment Martin found out, he became a Guinness World Record holder

🎗️ Plus, Martin shares his personal reasons for running on behalf of the Teenage Cancer Trust and how you can still support the cause.
